Browns Todd Monken plans to do things differently than Kevin Stefanski

There is a new day for the Cleveland Browns, even as fans have to once again deal with QB Deshaun Watson being the team’s potential starter again and a little bit of embarrassment with Todd Monken missing his first coaches meeting and picture for a haircut. Monken took the place of HC Kevin Stefanski, who […]

Browns rubbing off on Todd Monken already, new embarrassment

Being a Cleveland Browns fan has rarely been easy, but that is also something that many of us have taken pride in over the years. It is easy to cheer for a quality team that competes for championships and doesn’t embarrass the fanbase. The Browns have done little of the former and a lot of […]

Browns NFL draft profile: WR Elijah Sarratt, Indiana Hoosiers

The Cleveland Browns had one of the league’s worst receiver groups last year. Even the lead receiver, Jerry Jeudy, went from a Pro Bowl nod with 1,229 yards to just 602 yards. None of the other receivers had any good production to speak of. Free agency didn’t get in any new bodies that will be […]

Browns open to a ‘fresh start’ with QB Deshaun Watson

Albert Einstein, when asked to explain the concept of relative time, would use the analogy of, “when you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it is only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours.” Cleveland Browns fans can relate to […]

Browns with or without Myles Garrett: Top-10 edge rushers in the 2026 NFL draft

The Cleveland Browns have lost 26 in the past two seasons. A new coach has arrived in Todd Monken, who is an offensive-minded coach. Everywhere he has landed as either a head coach or the offensive coordinator, his team’s offense has been transformed. And now, he takes over one of the league’s best defensive teams […]

Discussion: Which Browns player needs to rebound in 2026?

The Cleveland Browns offseason was supposed to be in that lull period between the start of NFL free agency and the 2026 NFL draft. Reports about which prospects have made visits with the team, mock draft mayhem, and a lot of ‘what if?’ conversations were supposed to be leading the way at this point in […]

Browns GM Andrew Berry talks Myles Garrett rumors, did he close the door?

As soon as most have closed the door on the quick rumors that the Cleveland Browns could trade DE Myles Garrett, after a new contract was signed, GM Andrew Berry spoke to the local media at the owners’ meetings in Phoenix, Arizona. Some fans are in favor of trading Garrett, given the uncertainty of when […]

NFL Draft Profile: QB Drew Allar, Penn State

The Cleveland Browns should never be accused of ignoring the quarterback position. It’s just that they can never get it right, no matter what they do. Over the years, the Browns have drafted quarterbacks high (Tim Couch and Baker Mayfield at No. 1 overall), and low (Spergon Wynn in the sixth round), signed reclamation projects […]

NFL Draft Profile: QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU

It is extremely difficult to win in the NFL, even with a top quarterback on the roster. Which makes it difficult to understand why the Cleveland Browns have, for the better part of the last 25 years, been trying to win with a ragtag bunch of players at the game’s most important position. Cleveland has […]

NFL Draft Profile: WR Carnell Tate, Ohio State

It’s been a very long time since the Browns have had a true WR1, and for the first time in a while, they’re in a good position to potentially take one with their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Ohio State’s Carnell Tate could potentially fall right into their lap in the first round, […]

Browns rumor: Shedeur Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson has an early leader

Somehow, someway, despite being the worst trade in NFL history, being called “swing and a miss” by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, playing (poorly) in just 19 games in three seasons in Cleveland, and missing another year and a half of football due to two Achilles tears, QB Deshaun Watson is still in the dicussion […]

Browns NFL Draft Profile: Edge Zion Young, Missouri Tigers

The Cleveland Browns just may be in the market for a new stud pass rusher. A lot of chatter has been circulating about premier edge rusher Myles Garrett being traded. That may or may not happen. If it does, then the Browns will need a capable replacement. If nothing ever materializes, Cleveland can use a […]

Browns NFL draft: Just draft the best players

With the 2026 NFL Draft approaching, the Cleveland Browns will be on the clock pretty quickly. After a quiet but productive free agency period, the team still has holes on the roster that need to be addressed. The offensive line, mainly the left tackle spot, is still an issue, and the team needs to address […]

Former Browns kicker first to make a 4-point field goal

The United Football League (UFL) is a place for professional football players to continue their dream of playing the game while getting additional film so that one day they can compete in an NFL training camp. A lot of UFL players have been on the roster or practice squad of an NFL team in the […]

Would the Browns benefit from trading Myles Garrett? It’s complicated

It’s never a dull day in Cleveland. For fans expecting any form of the Myles Garrett trade rumors would be silenced after last offseason, the rumors started back up again. The team and Garrett agreed to modify his recent contract. It appears that the team did more than just standard salary cap work, with flexibility, […]

Sunday Dawg Chow (3/29): Draft season drawing nearer

The calendar is winding its way to the end of March, which means the NFL world is just a few weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft. The Cleveland Browns are in a good position when it comes to the draft, as general manager Andrew Berry has two selections in the first round at the […]
